This is so f*cked up. I can see maybe one or two of us on here getting waitlisted, but so far -- and this includes off this forum -- everybody I know has been waitlisted.

And I know it's because of the con preorders. I can only hope that IF XM really cares about this issue that in the future they will state exactly how many pieces were POed at the conventions AND how many remain for PO through their site. It's sketchy as hell and frustrating to boot. All we are asking for is numbers. From there we can make informed decisions about ordering on the PO date. Hell, why even have a PO date at this point? Slapped SOLD OUT on the damn statue and don't even announce the PO date through facebook/webpages.

Can we also go back to a comment made by a Singapore resident? He/She stated that people can just go into XM and plunk down a deposit on the statue -- even BEFORE the PO. Deposits can pretty much be made on concept art. Is that true as well?

I know there are middlemen, but that's not even convention POing. It's a whole 'nother level we are talking about there. The middlemen have to eat up at least 100 of those statues (and that's a lowball guess).

This has me worried as hell about X-Men. If there are characters I have been waiting years for and I can't secure them because of this convention PO/convention exclusive issue....I'm going to lose it.

I can confirm that this is true....sad!

Yes it is true and if you are a prestige member you can also PO off a concept well before it goes up for PO. If I had the monies, I would have done that for Witchblade several months ago.

I really don't see the issue with that. If I had a business that also had a storefront, I would always give walk-ins priority. That's just a good business.

Sigh, my hope of getting Cable off online PO...seems like impossible...

Probably...in fact I wouldn't be surprised if XM sold most of their Cables at the con since it is a Con exclusive.
